Development Committee

In January 2018, the MHBPNA formed a Development subcommittee to track new buildings and developments within and around the neighbourhood. Currently the committee meets once a month and includes 10 members from across the Mount Hope-Breithaupt Park area. To contact the development committee, email development@mhbpna.org.

Vision Statement

Create neighbourhood engagement and monitor and respond to development proposals

Establish a formal line of communication with the City of Kitchener Planning Department, the Regional Planning Department and City Council on building and development issues which impact the area

Ensure that the PARTS and RIENS guidelines and proposed zoning changes (CRoZBY) are fully communicated to all residents and adhered to as new development occurs

Design a communication strategy to 1) gather input from residents and 2) develop a formal line of communication with builders and developers in order to give feedback on proposed development.

Developments currently being monitored include:

The Perimeter build at Wellington/Moore – on the Google property

The Sixo Development

The McDonald’s building lot on King/Breithaupt

The old Staebler building/now vacant lot on King/Wellington
